What's missing from the old SuSE?
I put SuSE on my laptop a while back; you can go from having a blank hard drive and install SuSE without rebooting once. You install it, and when you're done, you log in and start using it.
It's easier to install than Windows, and if you're a business and you purchase SuSE, you get more for your money in every way...
But, I didn't use SuSE until it was owned by Novell, so... what's missing?
MEPIS has traditionally had a very strong KDE offering, and soon it will be based off of Kubuntu with, presumably, the extra MEPIS KDE patches. I'll probably jump ship from Kubuntu to MEPIS in the near future.
Considering that KDE on SuSE 10.1 is more up to date than Gnome (3.5.1 vs 2.12), their commitment to KDE can not be that bad. In fact, Gnome support at SuSE surely got better, but KDE is supported as good as it always has been.
well, it started with one interesting and easily misunderstood press release from novell. :)
;)
then there are "ximian monkeys", who are gnome zealots to the point where they ride the web and add anonymous posts, announcing that kde is dead
personally i know a whole bunch of kde suse users, but i don't know a single suse-gnome user. though i've seen some lurking on irc, but they are not so awfully full of zealotry, so it is ok
i just hope that ximian heritage doesn't ruin a good distro. if kde will be neglected in suse, i'll be looking for alternatives the next day.
